Refugee Describes Flight NATIONAL VERHOVAY DAY TO BE HELD BY YOUNGSTOWN BRANCHE­Verhovayak Lapja Page 1 A Polish refugee boy, student nt the Zamardi, Hungary, grammar school, organized by the Save the Children International Union, has written descriptions of his flight from Poland into Hungary, it was announced by Dr. Frank Kingdom, chairman, International Child Service Committee, .Save the Children Federation, One Madison Avenue, New York City. The boy, Jerzy Sidrow, 12 years old of Katowice, is being cared for in the children’s camp at Zamardi, Hungary. Funds are be­ing raised by the Committee, to care for 50,000 Polish refugee children, in Rumania, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Yugo-slavia. The Federation is the American member of the International Union, Geneva. The story follows: JERZY SIDROW “It was in the month of Sep­tember 1939. “I was marching with Polish soldiers toward the Hungarian frontier which was only at a distance of four kilometers. Clouds of dust covered the road and above our heads the peaks of the Western Carpathians rose haughtily. The road was crowded with military cars, motorized cannons, tanks, carts, and carri­ages following the serpentine road round the mountain. One could hardly get along. It was a sad and deplorable sight, nevertheless imposing, looking like an immense serpent crawling along with dif­ficulty. “The squadron of the Jazloviee Uhlans went first, mounting their thoroughbred horses, their heads banging; their eyes gazing down on the ground. They were leaving their native country. They were the cream of the Polish cavalry, their names were heard in the Valley of Samossera, their swords sparkled at the battle of Roskit­­na and they clashed with the Prussian bayonets. It was terrible to see the tragic retreat of the Polish army and I shall never forget it as long as I live. "We were approaching the fron tier and we already saw the Polish-Hungarian barriers. After having passed the frontier the poor soldiers stop an instant and give a last glance to their dear country. But the worst in this tragedy was the moment when they had to give up their arms, indispensable companions of sol­diers at good and bad moments. “I had to turn away my head so as not to see these drawn faces as they were swallowing their tears and hardly being able to keep back a sob when deliver­ing their arms which fall to the ground with an empty clatter, but not on Polish ground. And these fine soldiers are nothing but prisoners of war. “Now it is my turn. Sobbing I give up my gun, the last link which bound me to my country. “The Hungarian watch looks at me with pity, they understand only too well our grief. They treat us like friends with whom they had a common history, friendship and gratitude. “My thoughts go back inces­santly to my dear country in­vaded by the enemy where I left my parents, youth, and all that was most precious to me. When am I going to see the cornfields, forests and the mountains again? “Here in the hospitable country of Arpad with mind and soul we are preparing for a better future. May this hour come as soon as possible. We are waiting for it and we believe in it firmly. We shall soon return to our country and shall work with all our might for the greatness and glory of our new Polish republic.”-------------O------------­“Our policy should be to prevent these European wars if we can, and otherwise to stand aside while the na­tions of Europe find their own destiny. We must stand aside if for no other reason than that one strong western nation be left to preserve the flame of civilization.” —Charles A. Lindbergh. A National Verhovay Day, sponsored by the combined efforts of Branches 21, 108 and 364, will be held in Youngstown at the popular Bartha’s Picnic Grounds, on Sunday June 23rd. (The date of the event was originally scheduled for July 21st but was changed to June 23rd.) The banquet will be FREE and the program varied and interesting in every detail, so that everyone attending may have an enjoyable time. The three aforementioned branches are to have their own membership contest, and the one having signed up the most new members will be awarded a beautiful silk Verhovay flag, the de­dication of which will take place with the other cere­monies on this gala Ver­hovay Day event. The newly organized Ver­hovay Overseas Club has been invited to attend the affair and has graciously accepted the kind invitation. Provisions for FREE over­night lodging for all those coming from a distance will be made. The National Verhovay Day program to be held shortly by the Youngstown branches is another telling example that the word fraternalism exists not only emptily in letter, but in spirit and prac­tice as well, among the pro­gressive branches of the Ver­hovay Fraternal Insurance Association.--------------O-------------­“BIG STUFF” “LITTLE OLD CHURCH ON THE HILL” A haven where I go to forget—where with Him I share my joy, grief and sorrow, A little prayer I offered today, but I shall return tomorrow. Where you find peace of mind and heart and soul— everything is so peaceful and still. Yes, a heaven in itself—íb that little old church on the hill! When in the depths of despair—I find comfort, just kneeling there, Knowing that He Whom I can not see, listens patiently to my every prayer. When my heart and soul are filled with anguish or despair —I need not doctor nor pill, All I nyl do is visit—that little old church on the hill! My Savior’s hand seems to rest upon my shoulder as I kneel there and pray. No sadness or sorrow of heart; troubles like bubbles «.re blown away. The hunger of heart and thirst of soul—you too can fill, If you’ll only take time out to visit—that little old church on the hill! —“TRIXIE” of Yatesboro, Penna. June time will be milk time this year. The entire 30 days will be given to ob­servance of National Dairy Month. Prime purpose of the month is promotional—to sell more milk, butter, cheese and other dairy pro­ducts. And, lined up solidly in determination to make the drive a success, are America’s retail distributors. Food stores throughout the nation will participate, including thousands of chains and independents. And, on top of that, still more thousands of stores, such as the great non-gro­cery chains, will be doing their part to stimulate in­terest in milk, consumption of milk, and sales of milk products. This is “big stuff” to the dairymen. And it is “big stuff” to the rest of us as well. As Ward Melville, Chairman of the Board of the Institute of Distribution, has said in announcing the campaign; “In late spring and early summer, Mother Nature is unusually mag­nanimous in her milk abund­ance. It is essential that farmers dispose of this seasonal milk abundance at fair, reasonable prices if they are to maintain their wages and their purchases .. * The farmer’s seasonal milk surplus problem ... concerns the automobile and truck manufacturers of De­troit; the steel master of Pennsylvania; the movie pro­ducer of California; the hat store, the tire store, the drug store, the grocer, the five and ten . .. The possibi­lity of curtailed spending power among daily farmers represents an important problem for everyone who has a job, an investment, a stake in America and in American wealth and in­dustry.” “Drink more milk” is fine, healthful advice for almost everyone. And, carried out, it means more jobs, more pur­chasing power, more oppor­tunities throughout the na­tion.
